One other news story that's been buried by bigger news.

A third deadly fire ripped through a Paris apartment complex which housed immigrants. This is the third fire, each of which killed more than a dozen people, in two weeks.

An old saying says, "Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action." And there's a pretty active anti-immigrant movement in France right now. Some kids have apparently been arrested for arson, but I think it's bigger than that. At this point, I think that there's an organized group of people setting these fires to intimidate and kill immigrants.

Yeah, I've been coming to that conclusion as well. Some people are just plain twisted. But anti-immigation and racism are quite prevelant in Europe now. I did a little work on that when I was in Brussels.

this time it seems to have been simple "copy-cat" idiocy. Four spoiled teen-girls had a fight... 'Teenage girls' row led to fire that killed 16' At least one of the girls involved lived in that building!
